When an autonomous vehicle crashes or has an accident of some sort – who is responsible, and to what degree? Consider the following story: Alice buys an autonomous vehicle from Bob, who sells them. The autonomous vehicle has different settings, some more aggressive (where the autonomous vehicle drives faster and brakes harder), and some less. Alice sets the autonomous vehicle to its most aggressive setting. One night on a dark and wet road, Alice hits a pedestrian, Carlos, who was jaywalking. Carlos is badly hurt. How should we divide up the responsibility for Carlos’ injury? Here are some immediate suspects: Alice, since she was the owner of the autonomous vehicle, and was using it at the time of the accident; Carlos, who was in the road when he shouldn’t have been; Bob, who sold Alice a car that had the aggressive setting(s). Perhaps there are some other possible responsible parties as well. For example, we might consider the state (the government) that allows the autonomous veh

1.  Search the internet and other sources and list the different types of technology that may be found in autonomous vehicles (include at least one more option than those listed above). Describe each technology in 1-2 sentences, and include at least one web link. Camera: Recognizes people, buildings, previous cars in front, etc. Recognise its driving position in lane.. Rider: By measuring the scattered light due to the laser beam irradiated in a pulsed manner, the distance and the three-dimensional shape to a distant object are analyzed. GPS: Obtain information on the map and know your current location. Infrared: Recognize previous cars and obstacles. Millimeter wave radar: Recognize previous cars and obstacles. web link : https://smartdrivemagazine.jp/forefront/self-driving-car-sensor/ 2.  Select one type of technology and look at it in greater detail. How is it currently being used? What are its benefits and drawbacks? What is its future potential? Don’t forget to

1.  SAE International has a formal classification system for autonomous vehicles, ranging from level 0 (not automated) to level 5 (fully automated). Briefly describe each of the levels. Level 0 Human drivers control everything Level 1 Assist the operation of some of the drivers under limited conditions such as maintaining a constant inter-vehicle distance, assisting the steering wheel during parking, and preventing deviation from the lane by steering wheel operation. The driver needs to control the car all the time including assisting work. Level 2 By the simultaneous operation of many of driver assists, the vehicle itself can accelerate, decelerate, and handle the steering wheel. However, the driver always needs driving consciousness. Level 3 Limited to specific situations such as highway driving, drivers can divert attention from driving. In other words, you do not have to look forward in limited circumstances. However, when necessary it asks the driver to
